Farmall Cub

A friend of mine got me into calling my cub a name. Since it's a hobby more than a job. I have a 71 Y&W cub named Hoss. We don't even know if it will run yet but will find out soon. My friend said I should of called it RUST BUCKET.

George Willer liked to name his tractors after the person he purchased them from, so he could remember where they came from. After his passing, I bought his 57, "Scotty" and he's still Scotty. He deviated from that plan on a few, though, his 2 Loboys were shorty & Squatty, I now have Shorty, Mr. E has Squatty. Trike & Rat Cub are a couple other deviations, which Steve B. now has. Of course I have Cubota, named for logical reasons. Some of our other tractors have names, some not. I think it's hard to let go of a tractor that has earned a name.

With only one cub I have no trouble knowing which one. Cub means the F series red thing. Cadet means the yellow thing.*#*!&@ means whichever one isn't running right. Vern
